Pros

I work with the most amazing people. Everyone is team player and willing to help one another. More specifically my direct supervisor is the BEST! She goes above and beyond to make sure I understand my task and is willing to take the extra step to reiterate anything I do not understand. My supervisor is highly intelligent and unlike most supervisors I have worked with in the past, she is not intimidated by my intelligence. In fact, she is ready and willing to enhance my knowledge regularly. AmTrust is an amazing place to work!!!

Cons

Nothing to add at this time. This place is awesome

Pros

There are quite a few: friendly, supportive team members and supervisors, intuitive back-end technology (which is currently being completely reimagined), interesting multi-million dollar transactions across the country and nationally, wonderful benefits, flexibility, and an understanding that each person really is part of the team.

Cons

I really don't have many. Not getting to wear jeans every day, having to navigate Grand Central crowds to get to work. That's really it.

Mostly good people, but Executive Leadership is dysfunctional

Pros

- Potential Growth opportunity - Lots of Autonomy - Things are so dysfunctional that if you can demonstrate competency, you will advance quickly

Cons

Very political at the Executive level with many of the folks in roles they may have been good at as a company with $500M in written premium, but not as one with $9B in written premium. Most acquisitions were not integrated properly and most back end processes are poor (and highly decentralized). True leadership is really missing - Corporate Communications are lacking and the CEO is a recluse, not a leader of a Fortune 500 company (try to find a picture of him online).
